Methionine aminopeptidase 2 (478 aa, EC 3.4.11.18), an enzyme involved in N-terminal protein processing and that also binds eukaryotic initiation factor-2 (eIF-2) and prevents phosphorylation and inactivation of eIF-2α by eIF-2 kinases and thus promotes protein synthesis. It is also a target for inhibition by the antiangiogenic compound, fumagillin.
